Help me find this sound
You will love the Kora Hermes 24/192 version whether with the recent silver wire upgrades or just the recent 24/192 upgrade. Sells for 1600 and 2600. 
Thoughts on Legacy Whisper Speakers
I have put my thoughts on the RM 40 thread. 
VMPS RM-40 - Anyone Heard
I have to agree with Bookner in many areas concerning the RM 40's. I heard them today and was really impressed. There are many great and good sounding speakers and most cost more than 4600. The RM 40 draws you in - I wouldn't exactly say jawdroppi... 
Thoughts on Legacy Whisper Speakers
Clueless- if you decide not to get the Whispers check out the new VMPS RM 40's. At 4600 new they are hard to beat - I just heard them today. 
Jumpers on B&W CDM 1
I agree! 
Should I buy headphones?
There are a lot of good phones out there - I own several like the Koss Electrostats - AKG - Sennheiser - but the most fun and good sounding are the Sony Surround wireless DP-IF 5100. These allow you many options including digital input for direct ... 
A good integrated amp for Silverline Sonatina II
An Accuphase integrated or the Mcintosh 6900 will give you bass. The Electrocompaniet EMC player with a Kora Hermes tube DAC when you upgrade. 
Thoughts on Legacy Whisper Speakers
I ultimately biamped mine with an EAR 534 on top and the Levinson 331 on the bottom with the Whisper box hooked to it via a Mcintosh C42 preamp - I later switched the Levinson to a Mcintosh 352 which had a smoother sound in my opnion. 
Thoughts on Legacy Whisper Speakers
I owned a pair of Whispers and sold them just because. They have the best midrange I have ever experienced and a really great overall sound. The bass doesn't go into the extreme lower levels but it didn't concern me. I replaced them with the Quad ... 
EMC1 upgraded versus MKII
No, I did not get to try the Audio Aero - after I heard one of our audio club's member's Kora I was sold. I find no bass bloat or excess warmth in any region. It has a really nice balance. I really wasn't even thinking about changing or upgrading ... 
EMC1 upgraded versus MKII
I own the EMC without the upgrade and my friend has one with the upgrade. I bypassed the add on upgrade after hearing the Kora Hermes DAC (tube) - I bought the Kora and use the EMC as a transport - The Kora has the 24/192 and just presents a bette... 
Martin Logan CLS 11Z speakers + which power amp?
The Innersound is great for that speaker - you can add the ML sub later if you miss the deep bass - A friend of mine has this setup - without sub - tried it but didn't feel it created anything he needed. Phenomenal sound if you place them properly... 
VMPS RM-40 - Anyone Heard
Thanks. 
VMPS RM-40 - Anyone Heard
Are there any sites with a picture of the RM 40. What are its dimensions and array, weight, etc? 
GRASS ANYONE?
Nobody plays bluegrass like the "Darlins" from Andy Griffin. They are members of the Dillards. They have some CD's with good bluegrass. Also there is a " pickin" series offered by BMG in which popular artists material is played in a bluegrass styl...
